Commit: r1197: Make size estimate for lines and shapes more cautious.
by svn commit 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Version 1197 was commited by markb on 2009-09-16 20:39:25 +0100 (Wed, 16 Sep 2009) Make size estimate for lines and shapes more cautious. It was estimating that 2 bytes per point would be needed but although this is adequate for a lot of lines/shapes, some require more than that so make it err more on the safe side by estimating 4 bytes per point.

location-autofill and --region-abbr
by Charlie Ferrero 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hello all, As I understand it mkgmap uses the is_in tag (if present) to determine the region of a given city. If no is_in tag exists, it uses whatever was defined by --region-abbr in the command line, and if nothing was defined, then it uses nothing. If this is so, then why is --region-abbr is used instead of --region-name? After all, the is_in tags usually give a name, not an abbreviation. The workaround is just to set --region-abbr to the same as --region-name, but before I do this I wanted to check this wouldn't break something else. Thanks, Charlie

Re: [mkgmap-dev] Splitting an country borders?

I'm currently a bit confused. Is it possible to route over mapssets or not? I think it's still not working for maps which are splitted without splitter.

I know and I already using the geofabrik sources, but maps which are not splitted with psplitter are not able to route over borders. This was a limitation of mkgmap, that routing is only possible from one to an other country, if the maps are splitted with splitter. Using the geofrbic splitter sources, routing does not work from one to another mapset. This is my last information, if something has change this would be great.

Updated splitter (r87) - tile trimming
by Chris Miller 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

As a result of some suggestions from Steve, I've checked in some changes to the splitter (r87) that mean tiles are now trimmed of any extraneous empty space around their borders. Empty tiles are now thrown away completely. Also, no tiles extend past about +/-85 degrees latitude to prevent some erratic behaviour outside this range (so if you intend on heading to the north or south poles then this update is not for you!). Here's an example of the planet (date 090902) when split using the updated splitter: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=http:%2F%2Fredyeti.net%2Fosm%2Fplanet-trim.… As you can see the tiles are now quite a bit more compact, especially around densely mapped coastlines, and unmapped ocean areas are often not tiled at all. The only unusual thing I can see is tile 63240007 off the west coast of Mexico which contains just a single node. The node is part of this way: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/31775837 Looks like bad osm data that needs cleaning up/deleting? Chris

Commit: r1196: Add code to detect that we are not running under 1.6 and
by svn commit 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Version 1196 was commited by steve on 2009-09-15 18:37:56 +0100 (Tue, 15 Sep 2009) Add code to detect that we are not running under 1.6 and print a message. Went though all references to java 1.5 or 1.6 and changed as appropriate. Comments that suggested a better way of doing things in 1.6 acted upon and removed.

Moving to Java 1.6
by Steve Ratcliffe 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi As there wasn't any voices against the change, I am now going announce that mkgmap will now require java 1.6. Just in time really as there is just over a month before 1.5 is end-of-life'd by Sun ;) During a transitional period I will compile it with target 1.5 and detect if 1.6 is not being used print a hopefully useful error messages instead of a cryptic stack trace. After a while I plan to drop that code and just compile for 1.6. If you see anything on the wiki or elsewhere that refers to java 1.5 feel free to change it. ..Steve

Merge from the multipolygon branch.

Version 1195 was commited by steve on 2009-09-14 21:15:02 +0100 (Mon, 14 Sep 2009) Merge from the multipolygon branch. This does not include the code to generate sea polygons as that requires 1.6 and so will require a bit of preparation.
